Because it wanted to restore the Roman Catholic faith as the dominant religion there, remove Queen Elisabeth which it regarded as only an illegitimate daughter of king Henry VIII (which, technically speaking, was correct, as Henry had the marriage to her mother annulled before having her executed), eliminate England as a Protestant power that actively supported the rebellious Dutch against the Spanish and put the 'rightful' successor of Henry, the Catholic Mary on the throne as a puppet ruler with Spain as the power behind the throne..
